About this map

Lolo National Forest and Deerlodge National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape of Granite County, dominated by the massif of Silver King Mountain and the prominent Harvey Point. The terrain is defined by a dense network of gulches and creeks, such as Eightmile Creek and Lower Willow Creek, which have carved deep drainages across the territory. Isolated human activity is marked by Harvey Cabin and scattered infrastructure like a Corral, while the presence of a Prospect and areas marked Tailings hint at the mineral exploration common to this part of Montana.

Water sources are vital landmarks here, with named features like Barton Spring, Horsethief Spring, and Dooley Spring serving as critical points along the various Pack Trails. The map illustrates the late-20th-century management of these public lands, showing the intricate topography of Harvey Ridge and Mohave Ridge before modern development or major forest changes altered the character of these remote watersheds.
